Pre-echo gets much of its structure (loosely) from Caryl Churchill’s play, Heart’s Desire. In the play, we are given a cyclic story structure with bits of dialogue expanded or skimmed over in each repetition, giving the impression that we gradually get closer to understanding a full storyline. Certain things that occur early on really don’t make a lot of sense until their context is given later. All of this is reflected in Pre-echo.
